It is difficult. But you need to just spend the time and test and verify that the kernel you pick works for your needs. And then, after choosing that, you need to monitor the newer releases for bugfixes and security updates that affect your customers, and then backport them and provide them to your customers in a method by which they can easily and securely update their machines. It's not the simplest business to be in, that's for sure, but then again, it's no different from any other OS provider, except the fact that we are moving faster, and providing more features and fixes than anyone ever has before in the history of computing :) Welcome to the community, if there's anything we can do to help out, please let us know, we are all in this together for the long haul. greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
